Narrative:
The pilot reported that during a cross-country flight, the engine lost power. Despite his efforts, the pilot was unable to restart the engine and initiated a forced landing in rough terrain. During the off airport landing, the airplane nosed over. Postaccident examination of the airframe fuel system and engine run revealed no evidence of mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
